00:00Gotta whip up some dinner soon.
00:03My name's Ken Saito.
00:05Three years back, I lost my high school sweetheart-turned-wife, Lisa, to an illness.
00:10Ever since, I've been living with my third-grade daughter, Hana.
00:14Being clumsy as heck, I've always sucked at house chores, and cooking's a whole another
00:19level of challenge.
00:21And then, out of the blue, a big change came our way.
00:25Daddy, you're home!
00:28Oh, hey, Hana.
00:31Dad, we gotta take care of her!
00:34Please!
00:36Did you bring home another cat or dog again?
00:39I've told you a million times, pets are a no-go in this apartment.
00:44Wait, what?
00:46What's up with this person, looking all ragged, homeless or something?
00:50Um, and you are?
00:52I-I'm, um, Tsubasa Ogawa.
00:57I got brought here by that girl, but if I'm a bother, I can leave right away.
01:04No, for now, I can let you use the bath.
01:08Thirty minutes later.
01:11Thanks for the bath.
01:13I never expected someone this stunning.
01:17So, what's with the whole ragged look?
01:21Well, you see, I lost my job about a month ago.
01:26I was planning to get a new one, but I failed all my interviews.
01:31That must have been tough.
01:33You can't rely on your family?
01:35My family is really far away and they're poor, so I thought I could handle this on my own,
01:41but my savings ran dry and...
01:44Ugh.
01:46And I couldn't even keep up with the rent for my apartment, so I ended up having to move out.
01:53Dad, let's help her!
01:56You're not just going to abandon someone in this much trouble, are you?
02:01Uh, all right, fine.
02:03How about staying with us until you find your next job?
02:07No, I can't keep causing you trouble.
02:12Got any other places to go?
02:14None, but...
02:17And what about your wife?
02:20My wife isn't here anymore.
02:21She passed away three years ago.
02:24Oh, I'm so sorry.
02:27I shouldn't have asked such a rude thing.
02:31No, it's all good.
02:33Well, please let me say hi to your wife.
02:37Huh?
02:39I'll find a job soon.
02:41Until then, please let me stay here.
02:45She's a really polite one.
02:48And in the meantime, I can't just sit around.
02:51Let me help with the housework, OK?
02:53You sure?
02:55Thirty minutes later.
02:57I tried cooking dinner, but...
03:00Mmm, it's delicious!
03:03Way better than your cooking, Daddy!
03:06Yeah, you're right.
03:07When I cook, it's a disaster.
03:10What do you usually do?
03:13I've always been terrible at cooking.
03:15I'd get housekeeping services every other week.
03:18On the other days, I'd cook, but it was usually a fail.
03:22Sometimes, I'd get food from our neighbor.
03:24So having you help us out is a real lifesaver.
03:28No, I'm the one who's getting help.
03:30Don't hesitate to ask for anything.
03:33The next morning.
03:35Ken, wake up!
03:38Uh, Hana?
03:40What's up?
03:42Why the grown-up voice?
03:45It's me, Tsubasa.
03:48Ah, right!
03:50Breakfast's ready.
03:51Wake up!
03:53Oh, thanks.
03:55Whoa, she's close!
03:57Well then, I'm off to...
04:00Oh, wait a sec.
04:02Your tie's crooked.
04:04Ah!
04:05Being around someone this gorgeous makes me kinda nervous.
04:09An hour later.
04:11Good morning!
04:12Ken! Let's hit a mixer party, man!
04:16Just got to work and you're already on that?
04:20That's my colleague, Charao Yabasugi.
04:22A high school buddy, so he also knew Lisa, but...
04:26C'mon, it's all good!
04:28You ain't gonna meet girls on your own, right?
04:30I mean, at every mixer, I get approached non-stop.
04:33It's amazing!
04:34Wanna know my secrets to getting girls?
04:37Ugh, this guy bragging about everything just because he's good with girls.
04:42I'm done with the whole love thing, dude.
04:45Wait, man!
04:46Anyways, work!
04:49Ugh...
04:51After getting back home.
04:53Phew, another tiring day.
04:56Daddy!
04:58Hey, sweetie.
04:59Wait, what are you guys doing?
05:01Welcome home!
05:03Hana's been such a good girl today, huh?
05:05Haven't you?
05:06Dad, you gotta join in too!
05:10Huh?
05:12Well, I...
05:13Why not?
05:15Dad, you worked hard today, didn't you?
05:19It's not about that, it's just...
05:22Then it's okay, right?
05:23C'mon Tsubasa, you say something too!
05:27Um...
05:29Ha!
05:30Whoa, hey!
05:32Ha!
05:33Sorry, Hana never listens once she starts.
05:36No problem!
05:38If it's alright with you, I'll just pat your head to encourage your hard work.
05:43There, there.
05:46Good job today.
05:48Th-thanks!
05:50Dad, you're blushing!
05:54And whose fault is that?
05:56Living with Tsubasa continued for several more weeks, however...
06:01I...
06:03I failed another interview.
06:06You'll nail it next time.
06:08But Tsubasa, you're so good at housework, why aren't you getting hired?
06:12It's my fault.
06:15Huh?
06:16I've always loved watching anime, that's why I've been so fascinated with maids.
06:22So is that why you're so good at housework?
06:25Yeah, I practiced at home a lot.
06:28And even when I grew up, I never lost my dream of becoming a maid.
06:32So I wanted to work at a maid cafe, but I'm really shy and my interviews aren't going well.
06:38But you're not shy around us, are you?
06:42Of course I was nervous when we first met, but now I know you guys are good people.
06:47Besides, interviews are already stressful enough, right?
06:52Well, yeah.
06:53I was really nervous during interviews when I started at my current job.
06:58But maybe I'm just not cut out to be a maid.
07:01I can't keep burdening you like this.
07:04Maybe I should just give up and look for another job.
07:08You're not giving up on anything!
07:10Look at how hard you've worked to get this far!
07:15We'll help you achieve your dreams, Tsubasa.
07:18I want to help too!
07:21T-thank you!
07:23Alright, let's start by practicing for interviews.
07:27Okay, please.
07:29But you're already so nervous!
07:32S-sorry, but I can't help being jittery.
07:37It's okay, Tsubasa.
07:39Just think of Daddy as a potato or something.
07:43Uh-huh.
07:44Ken's a potato.
07:46A potato.
07:47Oh, should I make beef stew for dinner tonight?
07:51Yay! I love your beef stew!
07:55Hey, we're getting off track.
07:56Let's get started, okay?
07:59A-alright.
08:01Thirty minutes later.
08:03So, how did I do?
08:08Uh, well, if you give it your all, you'll get better at it, I'm sure.
08:15So it was still a mess, wasn't it?
08:20I hate myself that I can't just lie to her.
08:24Hey, let me try too!
08:26No, it's not a game, Hana.
08:30It's alright.
08:31I'd love for Hana to help, please.
08:33Alright, fine, if you say so.
08:36Um, what kind of questions should I ask first?
08:41She hadn't had anything?
08:43I got it!
08:45Let's start with, um, what do you like to cook?
08:49How does that relate to a job interview?
08:52My special one's your favorite, hamburger steak!
08:57I love your cooking!
09:01Alright, next question is, would you mind me calling you mom?
09:08What's with that weird question?
09:11You already have a mom, right?
09:14Yeah, but that's not what I meant.
09:18Huh?
09:20Oh well.
09:21Next is, what do you think of dad?
09:26Huh?
09:27I think very highly of Ken.
09:30What?
09:32Wait, does she mean that?
09:35Ken is like a caring little brother and so cute.
09:38Oh, it's like that.
09:41The training with Tsubasa continued the next day.
09:44Of course, the practice wasn't just for interviews.
09:47One day, we even practiced serving in aprons.
09:51Welcome home, master.
09:54Yeah, she's wearing an apron as a substitute for a maid outfit, but it's cute and she'd
10:00be a hit if she could work with this.
10:03So, let's recite the incantation to make it delicious together.
10:08Make it delicious, make it delicious, moi moi kyun!
10:14Ah, man!
10:17The power of her cuteness is devastating!
10:19My heart is pounding!
10:20Whoa, it's freaking hot!
10:24Oh dear, I'll wipe it away for you right now.
10:28Are you alright, master?
10:30Yeah, I'm fine.
10:33Why is my heart pounding like this?
10:35Could it be that I like...
10:37No, that's impossible!
10:39Hard work paid off a few days later.
10:43I finally found a place to work!
10:46R-really?
10:48Yay!
10:49Congratulations, Tsubasa!
10:53Thank you!
10:54Now I need to find a new apartment.
10:57What?
10:59You promised, didn't you?
11:01I'll stay in this house until I find my next job.
11:05What?
11:07You mean...
11:08We can't live together forever?
11:12We can't keep relying on her forever.
11:15But why does my heart hurt so much?
11:21A few days later, we started looking for a new apartment for her.
11:25The next house was found quickly, and the moving date was decided.
11:29However, on one day off...
11:32Ugh, I feel so heavy.
11:35Wait, what?
11:37Ken, thank you for picking me up.
11:40Today, you're my master and I'll be at your service.
11:44S-service?
11:46I want to repay you.
11:50You were there for me when I had no other options.
11:53Thanks to you, I can finally work at a maid cafe.
11:57Hana's at a friend's house today, and I've talked to your wife about it.
12:01So, please let me serve you all day today.
12:05It's a thank you, so I can't refuse, right?
12:09After that, I was served by Tsubasa.
12:12She fed me and even gave me a relaxing massage.
12:15Thanks to her, I could unwind and enjoy a peaceful day off.
12:19Ah, this is so relaxing.
12:23If you're satisfied, I'm happy.
12:26Well, let me clean your ears now.
12:29What?
12:33Whoa!
12:35Okay, that's the end of it.
12:38Uh, thanks.
12:41Man, that was way too heart-pounding.
12:43Today, Tsubasa is cuter than ever, and my heart won't stop racing.
12:47Could it be that I like her?
12:51No, I can't go down that path.
12:53Moving on to a new love would be like betraying Lisa up in heaven.
12:57I gotta give up on this love.
13:00A few days later.
13:02Well, thank you so much for everything.
13:06No, thank you.
13:08Will you come see us again?
13:11Yeah, I will come visit you.
13:15She's finally gone.
13:17This room somehow feels so lonely now, but I can't keep relying on Tsubasa.
13:23Daddy, are you really okay with this?
13:27Huh?
13:29I want Tsubasa to be my mom.
13:32But, Hana, mommy in heaven might feel sad.
13:38Uh-huh.
13:39I'm sure mommy in heaven wants you to be happy.
13:44Ever since she left us, you looked really sad.
13:49But when you were living with Tsubasa, you seemed happy.
13:55Mommy in heaven must want you to be happy.
13:58Of course I love her, too.
14:01Even if we can't meet, I'll never forget her.
14:05Yeah, I won't forget her either.
14:08So tell Tsubasa your feelings.
14:12Mommy and I both want you to be happy.
14:15Yeah, thanks.
14:18A few days later.
14:20Today, Tsubasa said she had the day off.
14:22I think her address is around here.
14:25Just a minute!
14:27This voice!
14:28I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry!
14:31Well, at least give me your number or something.
14:34Next time, call up some of my guys, you know, and let's do a mixer.
14:39What are you doing, Shadow?
14:41Wait, Ken? Why are you here, man?
14:44Well, because she's somewhat important to me.
14:48What?
14:52Ken?
14:53What do you mean by that?
14:56I'm sorry for springing this on you suddenly, but I've decided to be honest with my feelings.
15:02Your feelings?
15:05Yeah, truth is, I...
15:07I like you, Tsubasa.
15:11Everything about you, how you've been working hard toward your dream, your sincerity, and your kindness.
15:16All of it!
15:17So, can you...
15:20Wait, please!
15:22I really appreciate your feelings, but...
15:25We can't be in a relationship.
15:29You're right.
15:31Of course.
15:32I'm sorry for saying something that's troubling.
15:35No, it's not like that.
15:38I like you too.
15:41Then, why?
15:44You've got a wife waiting in heaven, don't you?
15:48I can't do something that would wreck your family.
15:51At first, I thought the same, like I'd be betraying my wife in heaven.
15:56But I realized it's not like that.
15:58Huh?
16:00If I keep hesitating because of my wife, I'll just keep worrying her forever.
16:05Huh?
16:07For the sake of reassuring my wife in heaven, I need to move forward.
16:10Even if you lose your home and job, just like how you've been moving forward.
16:15So, I need you.
16:17Hana is fine with it too.
16:19Would you go out with me?
16:22I understand.
16:24Okay.
16:27I like you too.
16:29So, I'll help make you both happy.
16:32Alright, thanks for...
16:35I'm so glad.
16:41Hey, why are you crying?
16:44Because you were finally able to find closure.
16:47What?
16:49Since Lisa passed away, you've been moping around.
16:52Who was it that kept inviting you to Mixers to help you look forward and you never showed up?
16:58Sorry, I thought you were just bragging about your luck with women.
17:03My bad if I gave you the wrong idea.
17:06Actually, it was Lisa's request.
17:09What?
17:10Before she passed away, Lisa called me and told me that if you can't move forward after she's gone, I need to give you a push.
17:21I was trying to hit on her because I thought she was your type.
17:24So, I'm sorry if I caused any misunderstandings.
17:28No, it's alright.
17:32I'm the one who should apologize for misunderstanding.
17:35From now on, I'll make sure not to trouble the people around me and face life properly for Lisa's sake.
17:42And with that, I started dating Tsubasa.
17:45After a few months of dating, we decided to get married.
17:48We had Charo's blessing and we embarked on a new life.
17:52Of course, I didn't forget about Lisa either.
17:55Lisa, I finally learned to look forward, but I'll never forget about you.
18:00I'll do my best to make your family happy.
18:04So, mommy, keep watching over us, okay?
18:09Well then, shall we go?
18:12Congratulations, Ken.
18:16Is something wrong?
18:18I thought I heard something just now.
18:21I'm sure mommy is cheering for you from heaven.
18:25You're right. Let's all be happy and reassure Lisa in heaven.
18:30Hi! It's me, Mel!
18:33Thanks for watching my channel!
18:36I'm super happy if you watch the next and other videos, too!
